My buddy just bought this beautiful car. First I've ever had the opportunity to see in person. Car runs and drives great. Oh yea, it has a V1 S trim on it as well. Just thought I'd share

Very nice. Somewhere in this forum there's a thread entitled "Fragments of the Holy Grail Found".

Ah... There it is:

http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-for...of-the-holy-grail-found-in-western-pa.874096/

We should keep adding to the collection until the entire grail is whole again.

Congrats to your buddy. Great find.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Wow. A doctor in my area had one of those when I was in high school- NEW. I'd drool over it any time I went by the hospital!

Beautiful!

Hopefully this guy has a garage, not just a car port. Nice car, I'm sure the S trim helps add some bite to go along with that bark.

The villages we all would have burned in order to have that 5-lug on our GTs from the factory.

What made you get rid of it Aaros?

Edit: Nevermind, I misread. You still have the thing. That's awesome. Have them bury you in it. That's what I'm doing with my GT.

After my last car was crushed i had a little extra cash to replace it and told the wife it was going to be a Saleen or 93 cobra and neither would be cheep. Funny thing is that the parts Saleen used were for the most part off the shelf ford parts, they could have done five lug as they already had the parts to do it.

I recall reading something way-back-when that it was an assembly line thing. They didn't have the means to change the order of all of the machines/robots in the line. Something with the differences in how 4-lug went together on the line versus the 5-lug. Some part of the sequence is reversed on the line. They were already putting those parts onto other cars and trucks on other assembly lines just not Mustangs.

Thanks! yeah. Tornado buzzed over and knocked over a huge tree, most of the good parts from that car now live in a 49 merc.

Yes I drove it. Cars tracks and runs great. Hard to tell the car is over 25 years old. Didn't really get under any boost. I'm not sure of the tune and didn't want to spend my weekend replacing head gaskets
